A little update on my earlier post..... i have decided to buy today!!!! wooot :D

Im going to buy now and drive to stoke.

Can you please advise if there is anything that should be changed.

Im going for gaming / overclocking and a raid setup for running Virtual machines and games from.

1 sys drive
2 x drives in RAID O
1 storage drive

I plan to upgrade CPU to a quad core AM3 sometime.

Any help appreciated!

Ooops...forgot to ask if my 500w PSU would run it all

Do you already have a copy of windows?
What case are you using?
For similar amount of money you could get a I7 system or are you happy staying with AMD
 
I do have a copy of windows. Im using a Lian Li v1000b plus.

I could go i7 but it would be a bit more expensive without the 4 hard drives...i think it would end up being 1500 with the extra hard drives.

And i have not seen many stats that suggest a vast improvement in games.
 
Happy birthday! then nerd way :D

Whats with all the hard drives? The spec looks good though, im really interested in the AM3 performance with ddr3
 
Ooh juicee setup - post ya pix when the goodies are on the table!
Oh and happy birthday chief!
The best prezzies always the one you choose ya self!!
 
As requested here is some pics.

The final buy was slightly different... but this is what i got for £1151.06

Got there 10 mins before they shut shop....

i think i may of got a wee bit of a silly fan.... im going to see if my old SKT 939 Big Typhoon will do and maybe return the Noctura.

Picture shows the relative sizes of Noctura NH-U12P, Thermal Take Big Typhoon, Stock AMD fan

Im really suspecting the Noctura is total overkill. Its pretty and i have to say i actually like the brown coloured fans....:cool:
